Public Speaking Jobs:
Alliteration
When you are speaking in public, humor in the style or Public Speaking Jobs need not be knee slapping humorous to be effective. Here is a mild form of humor to add to your public speaking gigs. Alliteration is used in the Public Speaking Jobs and is the repetition of the same first sound or the same first letter in a group of words, or in a line of poetry.You find alliteration used in advertisements and titles all the time because it tends to catch your eye and ear. Catching attention of your audience is part of the Public Speaking Jobs. One of my humorous public speaking topics is titled 'Pranks for Profit: Confessions of a Paid Practical Joker'. It has four 'p' sounds.
Here is an example of a positive message delivered with alliteration:
'We (B)agged the (B)aldridge award (B)ecause our (B)rainy, (B)eautiful (B)usinesspeople are the (B)est.'
In a negative message you can soften the blow of the message without appearing frivolous or uncaring. Example:
'The strike by one of our suppliers has put a (C)runch on our division. Even though we are (C)runched, we are still (C)reative. We are still (C)redible. And we will (C)onquer this problem.'
The Public Speaking Jobs can heighten the glow, or soften the blow.
